If they had user replaceable batteries like 20 years ago no one would need to replace them.

I’ve only had 1 without a removable battery and decided never again. Can recommend Fairphone, or maybe Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro.

The Fairphone is particularly repairable and more sustainably and ethically produced than pretty much any other phone FWIW. Almost any component can be replaced in minutes, including the screen and camera($106), as well as microphones, speakers, usb ports, etc ($20~40). It uses de-Googled android and has a variety of built in security and privacy features other phones lack. They’re a good company trying to improve the industry, so I think more people should be aware of them.

The Galaxy XCover Pro is the best of the very limited number of removable battery phones from major well known brands, IMO.

Somewhat, but not nearly as quickly or to the extent of something like gasoline, acetone or even d-limonene/orange oil (which is what I use to dissolve styrofoam packaging for repurposing, because it smells the best and is less flammable).

This video is someone dissolving polystyrene in kerosene, and as you can see it is a very slow process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1yDdIanTEA

That’s literally what I was saying/implying, so I’m not sure “no” is a particularly valid response. I think you misread.

The comment chain went like this:

1. Communism can’t be a dictatorship.
2. China disagrees with 1.
3. Marx agreed with 1, i.e. Marx agreed communism can’t exist in a dictatorship.

However, Marx (and most other communist philosophers) would agree, however.
